A Very Broadway Halloween

So, with the spookiest day of the year approaching (too cheesy?) I thought this would be an appopriate time for us to share if our costumes this year are Broadway-themed, or what Broadway costumes we've done in the past.

I always wanted to go as the Phantom, but I never could find the right mask.

I actually saw those masks in a store very recently. It was a party store with the Halloween stuff. I think you could also check craft stores like A.C. Moore too.

I wanted to be the Lady of the Lake this year, but no thrift stores had a decent enough dresses for that, and I can sew, but not design to fit my body. So I just scratched that idea. I guess you could argue that Little Red Riding Hood is from Into the Woods though. :)

I am not fond of makeup or face paint. I hate that it goes into my pores and I just feel sweaty and disgusted. Anyways I am thinking of going as Kira From Xanadu w/ my Xanadu Legwarmers, I'm thinking about buying the roller skate necklace. a blonde wig, a goddess type crown and wear my rainbow white xanadu t shirt

I will pass on the breast clevage' because then I will be so sad that I was not born a female.....

Last Halloween, I was Sir Percy Blakeney from "The Scarlet Pimpernel." And my sister, brother, and best friend all dressed up as characters, too.

Year before, I was King Arthur from Spamalot, complete with coconuts. For some reason, I love cross-dressing for Halloween, because I'm a girl but I nearly always wear man costumes.


This year, I was going to be Ursula the Sea Witch, but the costume was too difficult to make, so instead I'm going to be Julius Caesar Salad (toga with lettuce on it).

I went as the Phantom one year with a generic mask. Of course I went to a gay club that night too, no guys come up to you when half your face is covered, haha.

I don't really have a Broadway Halloween costume this year. I work at a children's museum and act in their Halloween program. So I'll just be a bunch of storybook characters.

I'm going to be Charlie Brown this year. I'm obsessing over the 1999 revival at the moment.

I was the Audrey II one year.
It was this awful handmade costume (I was in about 5th grade at the time), and at EVERY SINGLE HOUSE I went to, they asked me if I was a box.

Ooh, another Pimpernel fan! I'm not allowed to post pictures of myself online so as not to blind the internet with my sublime radiance, but I'll describe it. I got most of the pieces from thrift shops and my mom's closet:

*Very ruffly red blouse that looked a bit like this, except it buttoned all the way up to the neck and was even rufflier:



*Tight white baseball pants that looked a lot like breeches when tucked into shiny grey boots knee-high boots

*Long grey overcoat cut in the late 1700's style

*Grey pinstriped waistcoat

*Grey top hat with a red flower on it

*Fancy cane with a fake diamond on top.

*White gloves and a ring with a red flower on it.

My best friend was Chauvelin, so she dressed as a typical sans-culotte, with a tricorner hat and a tricolour cockade, and a rougher all-black outfit. My sister was Marguerite, so she wore a dark pink satin dress that we remodeled to have a huge hoop skirt, had elaborately curled hair, and a pink parasol. And my brother was the Marquis St. Cyr (guy in a grey powdered wig with his head in a fake guillotine made of cardboard).
